Lindsey Graham Mongers Up Some Fear

U.S. SENATOR SAYS HE WILL CAMPAIGN ON LOVE OF BUSH …

So here’s liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham speaking to a group of (mostly) head-nodding older people at an event today in South Carolina … effortlessly mongering fear like the seasoned War God he is.

According to Graham – who was challenged by one questioner to defend his interventionist world view – he plans to campaign for reelection on the basis of his support for former U.S. President George W. Bush’s foreign policy.

“I’m in the Bush camp. I like Bush,” he said. “I like the idea that we’re gonna understand who our friends are and we’re goin’ go after our enemies.”

“You will not hurt my country again,” Graham vowed. “And if there’s an American citizen who wants to help these guys, then he should go to jail or he should get killed in the act of helping these guys. I believe we’re at war … we’re not fighting somebody who robbed a liquor store.”

Such a tough guy … you know, so long as it’s other people’s guns, and other people’s money.
